The data in the paper can be reproduced executing (sequentially) the jupyter notebook available in this folder (paper_data.ipynb).

The jupyter notebook should explain the directory structure sufficiently and allow the reader to follow the post-processing.
The tables and pictures in jupyter notebook file, written in python 2, report the same numbering of the tables/figures one can find in the paper. 

ABBREVIATIONS:
"SMO" refers to SrMnO3
"AFM" anti-ferromagnetic
"FM" ferromagnetic
"OP" stands for out-of-plane
"IP" stands for in-plane
"VSr" stands for Strontium vacancy

"cluster" indicates one of the 16 different defect pair configurations
"NEB" stands for nudget-elastic band
"paired" double defect pair with parallel defect dipoles
"unpaired" double defect pair with anti-parallel defect dipoles
